Fun story. I went to one of those schools!

When I think of Crawford high school I think of the 90s riot fights they had all the time

Took almost 50 years to final decriminalize marijuana😂. Smoking and legally selling it anyway. This story focused too much on a selected few schools. It should have had a broader scope throughout the county.

It's a little depressing to think of so many of those San Diego high school graduates in the late '70s and early '80s becoming Reagan Republicans.

Why? San Diego had big ties to the military back then and had a lot more conservative voters.
